The expeditionary force from the deep sea will be the turning point of this long war on the continent of Loren. The silver queen Belsetia firmly believes in this.

After experiencing the local defeat caused by insufficient preparation in the early stage of the war, the long stalemate after the stability of the front line, and the tentative counterattack at this stage, although the huge scale and fierce offensive of the Wasteland Legion were still the same, the shadows that enveloped the soldiers' hearts were no longer as strong as before. Those monsters could be killed, their main forces could be annihilated, and their commanders would sooner or later be exposed to the alliance's front and arrows. When they realized that the enemy was not incapable of defeating, the soldiers of the civilized world had more courage to face this difficult period, and the people also had enough confidence to wait for the turning point of all this.

A powerful foreign aid can undoubtedly break the current balance on the battlefield, and even let the balance of victory tilt greatly towards the mortals to launch a full-scale counterattack on the wasteland. Belsetia hopes that her soldiers are ready for this.

"Our industrial system is running with all its strength. The ancient foundry and the craftsman demon servants who have been dormant for centuries are constantly manufacturing various components of purification devices day and night. As long as the front line can advance, the raw materials needed to block the wall can be continuously flowing," the maid Elaine's voice sounded in the night, quiet and reassuring. "We even have the strength to transport excess purification cores to the Tifeng Empire. The legion led by General Shana had wiped out the distorted legion occupying the Blue Rock Hill yesterday. Now the craftsmen are working hard to repair the enemy-destroying railway line of the Blue Rock Hill. When the road is unblocked, the train carrying the purification cores will set off for the East Line.

"The enemy's previous attack on the propulsion base was successfully repelled. Now the Thorin Guard and the Millennium Legion have reinforcing the defense line in the northern part of the Star Temple. With the crisis in Greta Fortress being lifted, we can now concentrate all our strength on the pushing operation in the wasteland. At present, the first purification device has begun to operate. General Lomar will personally go deep into the wasteland and build a second facility under the coverage of the No. 1 purification tower.

"Our contact with the north has been restored. According to the latest news, the blocking wall of the northern line is currently being constructed there smoothly. The enemy's counterattack is as fierce as ours. However, the Cecils built a defense line with heavy rain artillery fire and living flames that could burn the entire plain. Their blocking wall has penetrated two hundred kilometers deep into the wasteland, and is also advancing towards the center of the ancient Gondor Empire at an extremely high speed towards the deep blue well.

"On the Western Front, Duke Berdevin and Commander Jinna have assisted the reorganized Aogure tribe coalition to clear all enemies in the territory. The aerospace fortress, called "Dawn of the World", will begin to move eastward in the near future. Although there is no condition for producing purification facilities in the local area of ​​Aogure, it is said that the flying fortresses have brought large-scale war factories. They will continue to produce purification devices and airdrop them into the wasteland during the movement. It is said that it was proposed and implemented by Princess Rebecca herself. If this plan really works, perhaps the Western Front Blocking Wall that started construction will progress faster than the other three lines..."

Listening to Elaine's steady report, Belsetia couldn't help but feel a little calm. Her eyes looked into the distance, extending far away in the dark night. It was the direction of Gondor's wasteland, shrouded by turbid and thick clouds, and the remains of the human empire that were dirty and corrupted. In the past seven hundred years, the land has been cut off from its vitality and has not been illuminated by the lights of civilization. But now the situation has changed slightly. She saw a line of light spread from her feet to the depths of darkness. At the end of her sight, larger-scale lights gathered together, a shadowy building and a tower emitting glow stood in the center of the lights, "lighting" a large area around like a lighthouse.

In the vision of the high-level extraordinary people, you can see that the originally chaotic energy field around the tower is obviously gradually returning to an orderly state. The calm magic environment is clearly distinguished from the wasteland area in the distance. The clouds and airflow above the tower seem to be affected. The dirty thick clouds are gradually fading, and the energy sparks released continuously at high altitudes also appear to be several times rarer than other areas.

That is the first step to block the wall from extending towards the wasteland. In the past two days, the aberrant bodies attacked the base and the "Star Temple Fortress" at Belsetia's feet as crazy as they were, trying to kill the purification device before "ignition", but the loyal Millennium Legion and the Thorin Guard brought by the elf "Berna" resisted all the attacks. Now the tower is shining brightly. As long as the main unit of the wasteland Legion approaches the tower, the aberrant bodies will quickly weaken and collapse. The dark priests finally gave up the futile attack.

So, the artificial lights lit up again in this dark and desolate wasteland, and the pioneers from the civilized world finally built a real "safety zone" for the first time.

Next, these "safety zones" will be connected into a Great Wall and will be closed with the blocking wall extending to the south. At the same time, the Tifeng Empire and the Ogule Tribe will also build a barrier that runs across the east and west. The cross force field formed by the two blocking walls will completely cut off the energy cycle in the wasteland and "adjust" this completely "exotic" land to a normal state.

Elaine noticed the Silver Queen's gaze, and her gaze couldn't help but turn to the same place. After a few seconds of silence, the maid who had been following the Silver Queen for the longest broke the silence: "It's been seven hundred years... no one thought that this wasteland could be really 'healed', and the key technology needed to heal it was actually lying in our blueprint room... Even when we shared the key technologies of the purification device with the countries of the mainland, we didn't expect that they could be used to block the energy cycle in the wasteland."

"Scholars' revealing of the essence of magic has broken the fog before the world. It turns out that only the search for truth can truly solve the problem. No matter how much wealth we excavate from the legacy of our ancestors, we just stand still, or even waste those legacies in vain," Belsetia sighed softly, "so in a sense... the fall of the Temple of Stars is indeed a good thing."

"Some of the 'old men' in the Astrology Association would not like your words," Elaine laughed. "It is not easy for them to admit that the Silver Empire has begun to lag behind in this era, and you also have to attack their long-standing beliefs."

"Their attitude is irrelevant. Although I admit their past achievements and glory, the operation of the empire does not require a group of parts that actively choose to stagnate," Belsetia said lightly, his eyes drooping. "The temple has fallen... We can finally free the smart people who have been digging knowledge and repairing in the temple all day long from the old ancient machines. I just hope that they can get out of the shadows brought by the fall of the temple as soon as possible, and like other elves who have decided to move forward, they can use the knowledge and wisdom they have accumulated throughout their lives on the next 'Star Temple'."

"The next temple of stars..." Elaine opened her eyes slightly, "Have you decided to build a new air fortress?"

"Maybe it's not the time, but this does not prevent Master Vilania and me from making some plans in advance," Belsetia nodded slightly. "In the process of jointly building the "Dawn of the World" with the Cecil Empire, we have gained very valuable experience. The large anti-gravity engine group and parallel power ridge can solve the difficulties that engineers have always faced, in the process of restoring the power system of the Star Temple. The large deck closure technology and keel casting technology are not a problem for the current industrial foundation of the Silver Empire. All that is left is the control center... Cecil's large servo brain and neural network are on the foreign trade list."

Elaine was surprised: "They even sell this one?!"

"Because they can create better, and they need to let all countries in the world use data processing and transmission formats that meet the 'Cecil standard'," Belsetia smiled and looked at her personal maid. "Buying their servo brain and neural network components means that buyers must build their own 'modern industrial system' according to their technical standards. Whether it is factories, ships, anti-gravity fortresses, or domestic communication networks and public management systems, servo brains and neural networks are essential parts of these 'modern technologies'. When the whole world is using the same set of 'standard specifications', if you don't want to be excluded from the whole world, you can only choose the same thing, so the Cecils will of course sell them and sell them."

Elaine seemed to have never thought about these things before, and she seemed very surprised: "Then we..."

"This is not a conspiracy, but an open exchange of interests. When purchasing the servo brain and neural network components of the Cecil Empire, we are also outputting our anti-gravity technology and casting standards. Just like Tifen has recently been developing their "international standard library of crystals" and "modern spell registration system". Whether it is for Tifen, for Cecil or for us, the 'price codes' in these exchanges are acceptable, and for other alliance members... all this is also worth it. At the same time, all this exchange will indeed push our world forward. As for whether the direction of advancement is correct, it can only be judged by history."

Belsetia said this and suddenly laughed: "This war has truly united all the nations of the Loren continent into an "alliance", which is even more united than the scene of the 112 Conference. The tentacles of the great powers will spread rapidly in this process, and a new order and pattern will be formed and stabilized in this process until the next reshuffle of Elaine, the process is neither bright nor dark, because this world is developing like this."

"...I understand," Elaine thought for a while and let out a small sigh, "but she felt a little complicated. I always felt that Uncle Gaowen's current image was a bit scary."

Belsetia's eyes fell on Elaine. After staring for a few seconds, she suddenly laughed and said softly: "Don't worry, Uncle Gaowen is still our Uncle Gaowen, but he is also the leader of the Cecil Empire."

...

"Ah Yea"

Gao Wen's sneeze shocked Hetty in the office, Amber and Duke Bedwin in the holographic projection. Hetty, who was sitting next to him, immediately looked over with concern: "Ancestor, are you okay?"

"It's okay, my nose suddenly became a little itchy," Gao Wen rubbed his nose, "I'm afraid someone was talking about me behind my back..."

"Someone is talking behind your back...you?" Hetty looked a little dazed, "Is this necessary connection with sneezing?"

Gao Wen's lips trembled, and he couldn't explain to the other party what the mysterious statement from his hometown meant, so he could only wave his hands and stubbornly distract the topic: "It's nothing, I just talk about Duke Bodevin casually, let's talk about your situation. Now the situation on the North, East and South lines has begun to improve rapidly, and I'm waiting for your news."

"Yes, Your Majesty," said Grand Duke Bedevin Franklin's bust floating above the magic net terminal. Compared to last year, the elegant master with a bookish atmosphere seems to have a little more sharpness on his face, but his voice is still calm and restrained. "The situation on the Western Front has always been more complicated than other regions. Large-scale fall, damage, disaster victims and the distorted forms of running out of control have taken our footsteps, but these situations have now been fully controlled.

"All the tribes of Augure reorganized their troops and set up coalition commands in Hongyu City. After the medical supplies and weapons and equipment were resolved, the local troops had the ability to deal with domestic disaster control and distortion problems on their own, and re-controlled all defense lines of the mountain barrier. Next, Commander Jinna and I will start moving towards the wasteland direction, repairing the wasteland outpost fortress group and using it as the starting point for the blocking wall.

"The 'Justice from Heaven' plan formulated by His Highness Rebecca has completed theoretical verification and has been tested several times. In order to ensure air control and surface 'cleaning' in advance, the construction method of airdrop components and rapid assembly on the ground is feasible. The only problem is that due to the performance of the temporary anti-gravity framework, in order to find the best balance between safety and delivery efficiency, all airdrop components must be split and lightweighted, which leads to the lifespan of the purification device we finally formed... is slightly insufficient, unlike the solid ground stations on several other fronts."

“How much has the lifespan been affected?”

"In a harsh wasteland environment, the core can only operate smoothly for half a year. The pressure to purify the core is too great. After cutting and weight loss, the core will gradually melt down under the impact of its own energy. Since the core of the device cannot be stopped once it is turned on, it cannot be extended by replacing the core or shutting down the reinforcement."

"What if the ground is built in a normal way?" Hearing that the life of the purification device under the new plan was only half a year, Hedy couldn't help but speak, "The other lines..."

"We are short of troops, Princess," Bodevin shook his head regretfully, "and the ground construction cost is high, and after the heavy blow, Agure could not provide enough logistical support. If we barely do this, we may not have time to close the blocking walls on the other three lines."

"...So, it's okay to end the war within half a year," Gao Wen looked at Bedevin's eyes. "The construction of the blocking wall is completed within half a year, and then the wasteland is cured. As long as the energy cycle in the wasteland is cut off, we don't need to block the wall. It's acceptable to have a shorter lifespan."
Chapter completed!
